Following the departure of Rafa Benitez, the Northern Echo have claimed that Newcastle believe they can lure Gerrard away from Rangers this summer as they look for his replacement.

Former Ipswich striker Brazil made it clear that size of the club doesn't come into it when taking into account whether Gerrard would move to Newcastle.
